This BK Birla group company has continued with its stellar performance which it had shown in Q1FY10. Infact, it has bettered the performance.
Just like in Q1, in Q2 also the topline on a YoY has declined but profitability has gone up. On a YoY, net sales was down 4% at Rs.311.47 crore. The company continues to bring down its costs. Raw material costs were down by 22% and employee cost was down 20% and this helped boost the overall margins.
Net profit was up by an unbelievable 6 times on YoY at Rs.32.76 crore. QoQ, net profit was up 15%. Q2 also saw the company post one of its highest profit margins in recent times. OPM was at a very healthy 21.84% as against 12.55% in Q1FY09. NPM was up at 10.52% compared to 1.55% in previous first quarter.
Net profit for the first half of FY10 stands at Rs.61.11 crore and this is already 3.6 times the net profit of Rs.16.62 crore it posted in 12MFY09.
The company's equity capital is Rs 20.05 crore and the annualized EPS on the face value of Rs.10/share stands at Rs.65.36.
This is a company which will be managed by Kumaramangalam Birla as that is his grandfather’s (BK Birla) wish. BK Birla group holds 25.23% stake in the company. In the AGM of the company, the patriarch BK Birla stated that promoters stake in the company would be increased to 40% within the next three years. LIC has a 8.24% stake in the company.
We had recommended this stock on 21st Aug 2009 at Rs.140 and today it is at Rs.195. Even at the current rate, the stock is a good buy at it discounts the annualized EPS by a PE of merely 3.35 times.
